The Super Destroyer started life as a snow blower at Minneapolis International Airport in 1952, and served until 1989. The truck is a 1952 F.W.D. Four Wheel Drive 5 ton. It sat in the back lot of the airport until 1994 when I bought it at an airport auction for $400, minus the snow blower. It was equipped with 4 wheel steer, and a waukashaw 614 cube straight 6.
We removed all the bodywork and the original motor at which time we shortened the wheelbase to 133". The chosen bodystyle was a 1988 Ranger long box by Ford. We mounted the body in our shop and supplied a 488 cube inch Ford 460 motor, stroked! This is a secret recipe we will only build for other (monster trucks). The ingredients are top secret! The motor makes 450 hp on pump gas and will run cool all day... perfect for a mudder. The engine is rear mounted to help the 7400lbs mudder wheelie when called to do car crushing duty. The axle final ratio is 10:1. It has a Rockwell transfer case, C-6 transmission, and the tires are Combine floatation tires.
The vehicle was designed and built by us in 1995, runs hard to this day, and has never broken (knock on wood), and like anything, is for sale for the right price. Or, bring your plans down and have us build your dream truck. The choice is yours! Build up photos still to come Please keep checking back!
